This year’s Exotic Car Show promises more than just horsepower and prizes; it’s all in support of Melanoma Canada, with proceeds from corporate sponsorships, display cars, and donations going toward cancer research. According to the charity, in Canada, melanoma is one of the few cancers on the rise, affecting people regardless of sex, age or race.
To date, the show has raised over $915,000 in support of cancer charities. Last year was a record-breaking fundraising year, with the event raising $265,000, and this year, event organizations are looking to raise $300,000!
At Sunday’s event, look out for a special “Mole Mobile” rolling about. In partnership with the Canadian Dermatology Association, certified dermatologists will provide free skin cancer screenings and offer valuable education on skin cancer prevention to attendees.
Again, Bloor St will be closed to traffic between Avenue Rd and Yonge St for the event, allowing visitors to walk the red carpet and get up close and personal with their dream cars! Follow @BloorYorkville on Instagram for more info.
